Da Feng: From copying golden entries to becoming an immortal in the mortal world

[You are a Confucian sage, the only unparalleled expert in the world today.]

Your words and actions are no longer a useless lever, but a crucial point that can leverage various forces!

[With you in charge of the Central Plains dynasty.]

[For the next hundred years, no villains from any direction will dare to make any move!]

[But you know, even if you're a first-grade Quasi-Sage, without advancing to the Super-grade Confucian Sage, you'll never be a sage in the world.]

Your academic ideas can only be disseminated in Da Feng.

So you want to advance to the rank of Supreme Confucian Sage!

Through the Confucian Sage's carving knife, you have learned the extraordinary secrets of all cultivation systems in the world, including the method to become a Confucian Sage.

That is, to gather the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and integrate it into one, only then can one mobilize the power of Qi and write the rules of Heaven and Earth.

[To become capable of sealing other supreme beings (such as Buddhas and sorcerers)!]

The price is that those who attain great fortune cannot live forever.

[You are a first-rank quasi-sage, wielding the engraving knife of the Confucian sage; the secrets of this mortal world cannot escape your academic rules!]

Even the rules governing this world are, in your eyes, nothing more than neatly written words on a blank sheet of paper.

At this point, you weren't entirely without thoughts of immortality.

You're not afraid of death, but you're afraid that without you, the world will return to its previous state!

[Later you realized that if you hadn't died, wouldn't that have been a form of intellectual stagnation and rigidity?]

Because you are a true, living saint walking in this world!

All laws, regulations, and moral standards are based on you!

You wield unprecedented power to centralize thought; the mobilization of national sentiment is merely a matter of a single thought!

As long as you live, there will be an absolutely fixed standard in this world!

The established rules of academic thought can potentially suppress anyone who dares to try, innovate, and be energetic!

Every era, every person, every new idea—including you and this world—has its limitations.

Even if you are a first-grade sage or a future supreme Confucian sage, you can never always be at the forefront.

To break through these limitations, we need a constant stream of innovative and dynamic new stars!

The rising stars of the future are the maintainers of the new world's order, while you will ultimately become a remnant of the old!

But you are not afraid, nor even indifferent to this new world pioneered by novices, readily handing it over to the rising stars of the future.

You care nothing for fame and fortune, regarding them as nothing more than dust.

[Because, from the moment you broke through to the level of Quasi-Sage, from the moment you became a Holy Official of the Central Plains Dynasty, surpassing even imperial power, from the moment you were honored as the Sage of Luo by the God of War, Wei Yuan!]

You are the embodiment of fame and fortune!

Right now, you haven't forgotten about Wei Yuan leading the army into battle.

You found Emperor Yuanjing, exposed his true identity, and sealed him away.

Everything is going too smoothly; not a single person in the entire world, not a single official in the court, doubts you!

Not even a hint of doubt appeared in their eyes.

You've seen it all.

Even when you talk to Huaiqing at night...

Her eyes held boundless adoration, and she exuded both physical and spiritual devotion; she wouldn't be puzzled by your unusual request.

Instead, she acts like a studious child, obeying your every word and practicing repeatedly in private, as if afraid of hurting someone with her teeth.

Still unwilling to give up, you brought Huaiqing to the courtyard filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

[Begin investigating her secrets!]

Huaiqing was quite frank and cooperative with your investigation...

Although she doesn't understand why you did this, her subconscious tells her otherwise.

What you're doing is definitely the right thing to do!

All she needs to do is believe unconditionally!

[During this time, Lin'an, out of curiosity, hid in the jungle to secretly observe, and was discovered by you...]

She stammered, head bowed, saying she had a mental illness and wanted you to investigate her to find any potential problems.

Seven days later.

At this moment, you felt an overwhelming sorrow in your heart...

Yes! Even the beautiful woman beside you can't see your flaws.

In the eyes of those far and wide, aren't you flawless, the epitome of infinite idealization?

Your long-term vision extends beyond the new world of the future, reaching into a greater dimension.

Even if such a new world is successfully established, it will inevitably solidify after ten thousand years, with everyone resembling a rigid puppet, devoid of vibrant thought!

[You once again issue the decree, conveying it through the celestial canopy to all beings of the Great Feng Dynasty.]

The sage is immortal, and remains unchanged through the ages.

Human suffering is so great, why should all living beings bear it?

[Upon hearing this,]

The world was in uproar; even Wei Yuan, who was far away on a northern expedition, sent you a message overnight.

[Your teacher, the Director of the Imperial Observatory, has invited you back to the Imperial Observatory for the first time.]

[Up in the Star-Picking Tower, you play chess with your teacher, a game that can be seen as a shift in identity between chess piece and player.]

[In the end, you were half a move behind Master Jianzheng, and unfortunately lost.]

The Master Jianzheng looks at you with a smile and asks if you want to achieve physical immortality and live as long as the heavens.
